Just a bit of a preamble for those who don't know me, but I am a classic film lover who has spent the last couple of years confined to nursing homes and hospitals, so needless to say, I don't get out to see any new films.
With the Golden Globe noms announced today, I am wondering if any of you folks have heard about or seen "The Disaster Artist?" I am asking here because I really would like to know what normal people think.
On Oscar Night 2005, I attended a party honoring Martin Sheen, and seated at my table was Tommy Wiseau and a male friend. I had no idea who he was, but since he managed to get us an extra plate of cheesecakes, I thought him interesting. My friends spent some time talking to him, and he gave us ads advertising his film, "The Room." At one point, Karen Sharpe Kramer, the widow of producer/director Stanley Karamer, came to the table and struck up a conversation with Tommy. She said that Tommy was a film genius.
So a couple of weeks later, my friend and I took a trip up to the theater in Hollywood that was showing "The Room." It was a multiplex that had eight screens, the one next door was showing "Deep Throat." Tommy introduced the film. My friend and I survivied the longest half hour of our lives before walking out.
So is this sort of like an Ed Wood thing?
